Youβre not your past.
I feel like tht post i reblogged reminds me to never put someone on a pedestal . Like in ur twenties, glorifying the opposite sex, yearning deeply for their validation that you exist and that you’re beautiful or intelligent will always flop . Actually the best thing you can do for yourself is figure out what you want. It’s so easy to mould yourself to please a man. To become the epitome of his desire, to support and love him unconditionally. The desire for companionship is absolutely ok but when you lose yourself trying to gain the validation of men, you really won’t be thriving in life. Reminder to think of what you really want in a partner, to not compromise, to not succumb to societal pressure to settle down, to not believe in scarcity on the dating scene. There are good people out there, where you can build a secure long term relationship, instead of twiddling your thumbs feeling anxious someone isn’t texting you back. There’s someone out there who will love you and accept you as you are. Who will make time and space for you in their life. Who will invite you into their life and celebrate you every single day. If someone’s making you doubt the magic you have, run as far and as fast as you can
